Paintings of Terror

Chapter 270: Consciousness Particles

Remember those conversations displayed on the big screen in the initial room between Cheng Shi and his son? Ke Xun said, Although Im not good at reading comprehension, I can probably understand one meaning that Cheng Shis son tried to convey. Because when I was in school, I also had similar doubts, that is, why should the views of so-called experts, scientists, and professionals in books be considered certainly to be correct?

At that time, I felt that unless there was a person who mastered all the knowledge in the entire universe, only such a persons views would be qualified to be regarded as real theorems and truths. yCd sp

Its like the universe is a big watermelon, and humans live on the watermelon seeds. They know nothing about the fleshy part of the watermelon outside the seeds. So, we say the entire universe is just a watermelon seed, black and hard. But in reality, there is the fleshy part of the watermelon in the universe, red, sandy, and sweet. However, humans have never seen it, so they define the essence of the universe as the watermelon seed, but in reality, the main part of the universe is the watermelon flesh, with a few watermelon seeds in between.

So what I mean is, there are things beyond peoples cognition. People cant define them, cant describe them, or analyze them. Just like human consciousness, people cannot explain how it is born, so they cannot describe its essence. Unlike matter, which can be described using those particles and quantum things.

So, just as people living on the watermelon seeds cannot explain the watermelon flesh, they cannot define the watermelon flesh using the black and hard qualities that define watermelon seeds, because in the world of watermelon seeds, there are no properties like red, sandy, and sweet.

So I wonder if watermelon seeds and watermelon flesh are analogous to matter and consciousness. People cannot explain the nature of consciousness, due to their limited cognition. Perhaps, when looked at from the macroscopic scale of the universe, consciousness is like the watermelon flesh. It can actually be measured and defined with various chemical elements, just that people have never recognized these elements, so they cannot define it. mNfi 0

So, can we also assume that consciousness is actually another kind of matter, or element, made up of matter and elements that people have never discovered? Maybe hundreds or thousands of years later, when technology has advanced to a certain level, people will discover that consciousness is actually composed of an element called consciousness particles. They could be smaller than those photons, quarks and what not, billions of times smaller, but can still be represented by quantum, becoming the smallest quantum, and then being incorporated into the system of matter. In that case, can some of the laws of quantum mechanics also be applied to consciousness?

After Ke Xun finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him in silence. Unable to help himself, he scratched his head with a red face and said, Ahem, well I just randomly thought and said that. As a study slacker, its not like I know all that monohydrogen dioxide stuff. Just treat it as me talking nonsense. Lets all brainstorm and continue thinking

Luo Kang: for real? Monohydrogen dioxide? Brother, can I ask you about your best chemistry score?

Ke Xun: Get lost, get lost. No point in asking about that! Be serious! Exert yourself! Hurry up and think! l7PJ W

Luo Exert Himself Bu:

A very imaginative idea. Mu Yirans voice, with a hint of almost imperceptible amusement, came from behind. Ke Xun turned around and huddled close. Although Mu Yiran had his eyes closed, it seemed as if he could see this guy wagging his tail and blinking his puppy eyes in front of him.

The term consciousness particles is quite interesting, Mu Yiran continued. Currently, the smallest known particle of matter for humans is the quark, and before scientific technology reached a certain level, the smallest particles known to people were atoms, electrons, and protons. It wasnt until 1932 that neutrons were discovered, and after that, several hundred more particles were discovered one after another. So, how can we be sure that there isnt a particle smaller than a quark in the universe that humans have not yet measured? This particle could very well be the consciousness particle that constitutes the matter of consciousness.
